Chapter 120 is a post-merit review
Yang Wei glanced at Hao Jian but it didn't work, Yun Shu helplessly covered his face and didn't want to see the scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping in front of him, so he silently raised his middle finger and said: "Shenkeng is invincible!" ”
And Zhou Yunlong fainted to the ground after hearing Hao Jian's report, startling Yun Shu and the others. The pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info quickly pinched the person and sprayed cold water to wake him up. The first thing Zhou Yunlong, who was full of tea, did when he woke up was to get up and run out with his hands and feet.
Yang Wei wanted to stop but was stopped by Yun Shu, since the drought had appeared, there was no point in hiding it. The next thing to consider is how to provide disaster relief and fight a price war with grain merchants.
After a while, Zhou Yunlong ran back and scolded Yun Shu: "Shaft dare ~!" I, Zhou Yunlong, am really blind to this pair of tricks, and I actually recommend you to Wang Xianggong as a virtuous person, @#¥%. Yun Shu could understand the words in the front, but in the back was a series of local words, and the ghost knew what he was saying.
From Zhou Yunlong's expression, it can be seen that he should be greeting Yun Shu's ancestors~
Tired of scolding, he sat on the ground and said to Yun Shu: "Did you already know that there was a drought?" All this food is prepared for the drought. I don't want more, just give me enough food for the people of Taoyuan County. ”
Yun Shu shook his head slowly: "No, from today onwards, no one else except you can leave Ping'an Village, and you can't take a grain of grain out." There should still be grain in the granary of Taoyuan County! The food in my hands is of great use! ”
Zhou Yunlong stood up from the ground, grabbed Yun Shu's front placket and shouted, "What do you want to do?" This amount of food is completely enough for the relief of Henan Province. Do you want to make a fortune from this valley? If you are one day late, many will starve to death! The money earned from these grains is contaminated with the souls of the victims! ”
Yun Shu was indifferent to Zhou Yunlong's words, and still shook his head firmly: "No, it's not the time yet!" ”
"Haha~ You actually said that it was not time? When will that be? Will it wait until the starvation is everywhere and the victims sell their children? Zhou Yunlong said with a grin.
"Yang Wei, what are you still doing here? Take people to the blockade of the mountain village and patrol non-stop! At the same time, check the granary, this grain is the life of the people! One less grain you can do it yourself! ”
Now Yun Shu has become completely different, Yang Wei subconsciously beat his chest with his hands and shouted: "Yang Wei takes orders!" ”
The disaster has just begun, Yun Shu has hundreds of thousands of lives on his shoulders, and now he needs to eliminate his feelings and let more people survive this drought through accurate calculations.
Looking at Zhou Yunlong's appearance, Yun Shu sighed and said, "The drought has just begun!" The grain merchants in Tokyo City will definitely get the news as soon as possible, and the grain merchants' speculation is no longer a secret in my Yan Song, and which of the grain merchants in Tokyo City has no backers? When 300,000 stone of grain entered Tokyo City or Henan Prefecture, I am afraid that it would be swallowed by grain merchants before it was sold to the people. ”
Zhou Yunlong was awakened by Yun Shu's words, just now he was completely disturbed by the disaster, and it was always true: "What should I do?" ”
Yun Shu sneered: "The show has just begun!" I have a way to deal with those grain merchants who sit on the ground and raise prices! ”
Influenced by his father, Yun Shu has a unique military style, calm and decisive in case of trouble, and the more stressful the situation, the more sober he can analyze the situation and make correct judgments.
Now he still has a big chance of winning with the cards in his hand! In fact, the biggest crisis of drought is the shortage of food, but this shortage is only relative, Yan Song's Cao Yun developed, as long as it survives the early stage of the drought, there will be a steady stream of food to arrive in Tokyo City in the rest of the time! At that time, those grain merchants who hoarded grain naturally lowered their prices.
But the most difficult thing is that it is this period, Yun Shu had the advantage of time before, and now he has food as a hole card, plus the help of Daomen. Zhao Zhen should have received the news now, and he will definitely mobilize a large amount of grain to arrive in Beijing, and his responsibility is to stabilize the price of grain before the arrival of grain!
Explain everything clearly to Zhou Yunlong, anyway, now he also knows the truth, even if he wants Wang Anshi to report? Zhou Yunlong listened for a long time and said: "In other words, the grain in your hand is for stabilizing the price of grain, not directly distributed to the victims?" ”
"Nonsense! It's not that the victims don't have money, but they can't buy food! How can there not be enough food in the city of Tokyo? It's just that those grain merchants don't sell it! When the time is almost right, I will go and sell it to the people at a good price, and those grain merchants will still be able to sit still? ”
Zhou Yunlong is not speechless, Yun Shu's method is very good, and he can help everyone to the greatest extent. He had seen the people of the disaster, not all of them poor. It would undoubtedly be best if food prices could be stabilized.
Zhou Yunlong found that the important problem was solved, so the next question came: "How did you know that there would be a drought this year?" ”
"My master said it before Yunyou."
"Did Venerable Master say anything else?"
"No, it's just the mention of the birth of the drought."
Zhou Yunlong's disappointed expression didn't last long, and he asked anxiously: "Is Lingshi's prediction based on the study of things?" ”
Seeing that Zhou Yunlong was pulling things on the grid by himself, Yun Shu of course unceremoniously borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "That's right! The family teacher once said that there are thousands of changes in the knowledge of things, the changes of the stars can be observed on the top, and the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas can be seen below. It can benefit all the people, and it can also kill the enemy who comes to attack! ”
"What did the virtuous nephew learn?!" Zhou Yunlong, whose eyes were shining, asked Yun Shu.
"It's not as good as the teacher!" After Yun Shu finished speaking, he saw Zhou Yunlong with an expression of hatred that iron could not become steel.
How could I be able to master physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines in later generations? Although there are mobile phones and Wikipedia, they can only be used for reference and reference, and good steel should be used on the blade!
Yang Wei listened attentively to Yun Shu's words on the side, and didn't dare to miss a word. Yun Shu rarely mentioned his master's past, and now that Yun Shu said so much and still didn't reveal too much information, Yang Wei asked curiously: "Where did your master go?" ”
The answer was still pale and weak: "I don't know!" ”
Zhou Yunlong repeatedly assured that Yang Wei still didn't want to let him go, and finally reluctantly swore a poisonous oath: "How about I, Zhou Yunlong, if I reveal half a word to the outside world, and make me a martial artist?" ”
Yang Wei nodded with satisfaction and said, "This oath is poisonous enough, you can go!" ”
Yun Shu is inexplicable, what kind of poisonous oath is this? After Yang Wei's explanation, I realized what a martial artist represented for literati.
The status of the warriors in the Yan and Song dynasties is outrageous, which is related to the national policy of the Yan and Song dynasties. These are the ancestral systems set by Taizu.
Yun Shu really didn't know whether to praise Taizu for his wisdom or stupidity, but this situation of poverty and weakness was an ideal state of long-term peace and stability that the rulers of the Yan and Song Dynasty learned from the lessons of their predecessors and did everything possible to achieve long-term stability.
The emperors of the feudal era were not worried that the army was not strong enough, but that it was too strong to control and threaten his throne. This also explains in disguise why the invincible fierce general Di Qing was scared to death and the reason for Yue Fei's death.
As long as there was an army, enough to suppress small-scale local rebellions, the emperor could be reassured.
It was this kind of thinking that led to the forbidden army and the box army system of the Yan and Song dynasties. But the forbidden army was strong, and if it was not properly controlled, the emperor would suffer from it.
To this end, Yan Song first divided the forbidden army into two parts, one part was led by the commander of the palace in front of the palace, and the other part was led by the commander of the guards, the pro-army Ma Bujun. Later, the latter was divided into two parts: the Ma Jun Division and the Infantry Army Division.
At this point, the forbidden army was led by three yamen, called the "three yamen". The three yamen commanded the army, but they had no right to mobilize. The right to transfer is vested in the Privy Council, which is presided over by the civil officer. The two restrict each other, but in fact, they use literature to control the military, emphasize literature over military force, and return power to the central government.
As a result, a vicious circle was formed, but Taizu did not expect that the elite forbidden army would become corrupt. The Northern Song Dynasty claimed to have 800,000 forbidden troops, and after asking Yang Wei, I learned that these 800,000 forbidden troops actually only existed on paper!!
The severity of the forbidden army's empty salary is breathtaking, and the remaining elites are often stationed in Tokyo and do not participate in the war, which reminds Yun Shu of Madame Hua Rui's famous sentence: "140,000 people are disarmed, and none of them are men!"
How can such a country be worthy of a nomadic people who grew up in a difficult environment? Of course, it doesn't mean that the current forbidden army has no combat effectiveness at all, in Yun Shu's eyes, Yang Wei's forbidden army still has strong combat effectiveness, and they are all veterans who have participated in the Battle of Tanyuan!
But what if this situation persists? Fu Bi even proposed to Zhao Zhen that he would not say anything about the military for twenty years! The victory of the Xianping Alliance was a catalyst! Let those literati who only know it think that the Yan and Song armies are reliable and can defeat the Western Xia and Liao.
What is even more terrifying is that the literati believed that Kou Xianggong could be in charge of the army back then, and so could the literati in the future, but Kou Xianggong's success lay in appointing generals rather than commanding battles.
Yun Shu, as a descendant, can certainly judge all this as hindsight, and now that he has returned to this era, he does not want such a dreamlike dynasty to fall under the iron hooves of the barbarians. Nor can we tolerate a prosperous economy, technical science that is beyond the reach of future generations, graceful or bold Song Ci, etc., all in the destruction and war of the not-too-distant future!
